The Story of Rudge Motorcycles 
By Peter Hartley
printed in Great Britain 1985, 127 pages
PSL Motorcycle books. 
Although a comparative latecomer to the British motorcycle industry, Rudge Whitworth was in 1910 already well established on a sound foundation as a successful bicycle manufacturer and swiftly achieved success in its new business. Much of the company's rapid growth was attributable to one man - John Pugh - whose drive and energy soon made Rudge a market leader in terms of technical innovation. In fact, the company's incorporation of many mechanical details to improve performance, reliability and economy was almost too advanced for the day, since they inevitably forced the price of the motor cycles up at a time when, due to the Depression, other manufacturers were fighting to keep prices down. Rudge's technical excellence emerged clearly in the marques racing results, although in one sense the company penalized itself by refusing to create one off specials, insisting that the machines it raced should be as close as possible to regular production motorcycles. In this book Peter Hartley examines not just Rudge motorcycles themselves, but also the people behind their success, and it is interesting to speculate on what further accomplishments might have been achieved  had the company not ceased to exist as a motorcycle manufacturer during the second world war. With its wealth of rare photographs to complement the author's authoritative text, this is a book which will appeal to all veteran and vintage motorcycle enthusiasts.
